The wings of a butterfly
in the crack of my memory,
dawn approaching,
birds singing,
bass humming
as the music
begins.
Nothing is left
but the music.

I scan the room
on the verge of a dream,
the beauty of life
splashing onto me.

Filled
Filled with heart-clenching
emotion
my heart is filled
to the brim
with heart-clenching
emotion.
why can't everything
just stop
why can't time
freeze
and leave me with
nothingness?

Lightning roars,
Thunder seethes,
God angry
at the world.

Distance,
lose yourself,
fall deep in the snow,
forget
who you are
where you are
forget it all
let the distance
surround you
and consume you.

Love.
It's about falling, and most times not being caught at the bottom.
Sometimes love is falling hard and fast, reaching the end of the fall sooner
sooner than expected.
Love is too big for words and too small for them at the same time.
But, when you find that person, when you find them,
you'll never be happier.

Love is all you need.

I let the snow swirl around me
breathing in the cold
the fantasy unwound
the life unlived
in the midst of the hot summer day's dream
sitting there
not sure what was real
not sure what wasn't

This is a poem I wrote for English about my freshman year in high school! Enjoy! ^^

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
The joy swirled around us, the pain obstructed us.
We walked the hallways of the beginning of the rest of our life
surrounded by dissent and discord.
Light and darkness met, mixed,
we changed, proliferated,
though so much was left to learn.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
The unfavorable and the favorable fused.
We learned of passion and loathing,
of pleasure and anguish.

See you all later!

The feelings left
almost as quickly as they came.
It's was part of some theft.
Nothing is the same.

I just wish I knew
everything was all right
The times at school
I dread in fright

The days of bliss
are all long gone
withered, I miss
Something I did wrong?
Will I hear the new bird's song?
The life that once was is no more.
But, inside we are the same; our untouchable core.

Swirling, falling.
Can't get up to catch my breath.
Running, gasping.
Where did the time go
when I could sit and do nothing
think about life
like i used to.
Falling. deeper and deeper
into a hole
of my life.

The feeling is gone.
The world is nothing.
Walking around endlessly.
Lost in the dark.
Where did everything go?
How did it all change?

Trapped,
Lost in the nothingness.
Will there ever be a light?
Is anything ever right?
I want to fall
and fall
and be free to sing
and laugh and be free.
To sing in perfect harmony.
When will i be free?
